.i ~ L~g ~ 7 FII~I.D OF ~TTE INVF:MTION:
The present invention is directe~ to connectors Eor Ela-t multicondllctor cable and pertains more particu-larly to multiconductor cahle connectors provi~inq for the qround~n~ o~ selected conductors in a si~nal trans-mission cal~le.
F~P.CKGRC)UND OF 'nHE Il~VENTION:
In ~ass-terminatin~ ~lat ~ulticonductor cahle '~ein~ use~ for the communication o~ low-level siqna~s, need arises in a connector ~or selectively connec-tinq to ~round those cahle conductors w~ich are assi~ned to the purpose o~ shiel~in~ siqnal-carryinq cable con~uctors.
'IJ.S. Patent No. 4,027,~41, co~monly assi~ned with the suhject application, descrihes a type of connector di-rected particularly to ~ass-ter~inatinq of such si~nal-carryinq multiconductor cable. In the a~proach o~ -the '941 ~atent, t~o ty~es of contact elements share a common connector support ~ody, respectively for piercin~ the insulation oE si~nal-carryinq and ~round conductors of the ~lat ca~le. The insulation-piercin~ portions of the two types of contact ele~ents differ, the qround conductor-piercing contact ele~ents bein~ ~enerally planar in con~i~uration and the si~nal conductor-piercin~
contact elements beinq ~enerally box-shaped. ~ach of the latter contact elements is ~aintained electrically independent in the connector support bo~y whereas each of the ~or~er contact elements are formed inteqrally with a support plate o~ electrically conductive material and are accordinqly electrically interconnected to mass-ter~inate all en~aged conductors at qround potential.~dditionally, such '~41 connector includes a retainer plate havinq a~ertures correspondinq to the insulation-piercin~ ~ortions of the con-tact elements at qround potential and a~apted to en~a~e the portions upon their Qassa~e throuqh the ~lat cahle.

Other approaches to the selective termination problem addressed by the '941 patent connector are seen in U.S. Pa-tents I~o.
3,768,067 and No. 4,005,921. In the '067 patent (Fig. 4), an embodiment is shown wherein quite different contact elements are employed for ground and signal conductors, respectively operative on different sides of a flat cable and piercing the cable in d:ifferent directions. In the '921 pa-tent, ground conductors are stripped and bent into engagement with a common grounding bus and accordingly are not insulation-pierced in the course of mass termination.
A distinct shortcoming common to the described insulation-piercing grounding approaches is the diversity in approach to termination of the different types of conductors. As a result, no commonality is seen in terms of contact element structure nor insulation-piercing activities of the respective different contact elements.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a connector wherein selective contacts of the connector are accessible in unison exteriorly of the connector.
In the attainment of the foregoing and other objects, the invention looks toward providing a connector having a support body and first and second sets of contacts disposed therein. Each of the contacts share a common configuration in their insulation-piercing portions and support such insulation-piercing portions in common attitude with respect to a flat cable for like piercing thereof.
~he foregoing and other objects and features of the invention will be further evident from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments and frcm the drawings wherein like reference numerals identify like parts throughout.

Referrinq to Fi~s. 1-3, connector 10 co~prises a base 12 supportinq~ contact elements 14 adapted for insulation piercing engaqe~ent with si~nal-carryinq conductors of a flat ~ulticonductor cable. As indicated particularly in Fiq. 2, contact ele~ents 14 are disposed in first and second rows spaced laterally fro~ one another and staaqered alonq the longitudinal axis of the elonqate base 12. Second contact ele~ents 16 are spaced also in ~ ?
~ lateral rows and are sta~ered lonnitudinallv of ~ase 12 ; such that they alternate lon~itudinally with contact ele~ents l4. ~hus, one finds a lonqitudinal sequence of contact elel~ents co~mencina at the leftw~rd side-oF base 12 which includes a contact ele~ent 16, a contact ele~ent l4, a contact ele~ent 16, etc.
.

As is seen particularly in Fig. 3, each of the plurality or set of contact elements 14 comprises an insulation-piercing portion 18 of box-shaped configuration, such as is shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,043,628, commonly assigned herewith, and an integrally formed tail portion 20, of length extending below base 12 to render each of contact elements 14 individually electrically accessi~le exteriorly of the support bod~. As is also shown in Fig. 3, the portion 18 extends essentially orthogonal to base 12, as does tail portion 20, base 12 having through apertures for sea-ting contact elements 14.
Contact elements 16 are constituents of contact assembly 22, which comprises such contact elements in addition to interconnection means 24 and tail contact elements 26. In the version of the connector shown in Figs. 1-3, tail contact elements 26 are bonded to means 24 in lateral registry with the leftwardmost and rightwardmost of contact elements 16, such as is indicated by bonding areas 24a and 24b, whereby redundant laterally extreme tail contacts are defined for means 24. Alternatively, in such embodiment of Figs. 1-3, contact assembly 22 may define integral structure wherein means 24 is an elongate plate member of electrically conductive material and contact elements 16 and 26 are formed therewith. As will be seen again by reference to Fig. 3, each of the plurality or set of contact elements has an insulation-piercing portion of common configuration, as in the '628 patent, with insulation-piercing portions 18 of contact elements 14 and extending in co~mon attitude ~ith contact element portions 18 with respect to base 1~ (Fig. 3). Tail contact elements 26 are preferably in longitudinal registry with contact elements 16 and are within the longitudinal distance extending between the rightwardmost and leftwardmost of contact elements 16. Contact element or elements 26 extend lengthwise below base 12 to render contact elements 16 electrically accessible in common exteriorly csm/~
1 of base 12.
In customary manner in the art, latching means are provided for securing a cover 28 to base 12, such as is shown in the above-referenced '941 patent and in-dicated in Fig. 1 hereof by dependent latch arm 30 andsuitable base projections, (not shown).
Referring to Figs. 4-6, contact assembly 22 may define dimpled location or openings 34 longitudinally thereof in registry with contact elements 16, such that tail contacts 26 (Fig. 3) may be disposed at will and in preselected positions along the length of assembly 22 and base 12. In defining the structure of contact elements 16, incorporating reference is made to the '628 patent for brevity.
Referring to Figs. 7-10 of the subject applica-tion, tail contact element or terminal means 26 preferably includes a stem 36 having a strengthening rib 36a extend-ing lengthwise therewith. Flange 38 is provided having plate surface for registry with ground bus 24 (Fig. 5).
Elements 26 include dimpled locations or openings 40 in flanges 38 for registry with openings 34 of ground bus 24, whereby the tail contact elements may be joined to the grounding bus by fasteners insertable through their re-spective openings or by joiner of dimpled locations.
Various changes to the foregoing described and shown structures will now be evident to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the particularly disclosed preferred embodiments are intended in an illustrative and not in a limiting sense. The true spirit and scope of the invention is set forth in the following claims.
